[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
My son-in-law has a Nexus 5x. When I showed him my phone with Stang v2 it made him feel like his phone was a little bit of a disappointment.

The S4 has been a great phone...better now with a de-crapified ROM and would be even greater still with a near AOSP ROM. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
do it. Just do it.... I will test
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
I would certainly support this as well!! Eliminating the baked-in Touchwiz crap would be an epic achievement! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
added a poll to the thread. if everyone could vote i would appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] signupstuffid:
That would be a great idea, although I recently flashed a new ROM on my friends bootloader locked Note 3 and realized that a lot of the Touchwiz pieces actually rely on each other to work.

He had to let the my magazine app because it interacts with the dialer in a way that he couldn't make a call out without it. I saw a similar thing about stang getting the right weather app so that the calendar widget would work.

Stang, and the guy who created the Phoenix ROM, probably know best what interacts with what, so you do remove something that breaks another feature.

The perfect option would be an aroma installer that let you pick if you wanted near AOSP, a barebones Touchwiz with minimum apps needed for features like UPSM, and Multiwindow, or all the Touchwiz apps from the latest ports.

Different ROMs with those options would also be just as good.

Hello again, I am curently owner of the QTEK 9000 wich is a VGA device.

I am thinking about buying a KAISER but I am afraid of going back to QVGA ... I don't want to be disapointed !

Does someone did that ? I mean going from a VGA device to a QVGA one ?

How do you deal with it ?

Thanks a lot !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chak:
You will be not disappointed.

I still have the QTEK 9000 but never use this device as phone.

only application where i miss the VGA is the RDP

I did also use the G900 for view days. (800x480)

RDP was great..other application did not use the wide screen.

G900 was just to slow for daily usage
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
I was happy of VGA resolution for excel sheets using, I do it a lot. It is cool to be able to display a wide sheet.

Also for internet browsing ... I think I will miss VGA for that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nuclear:
I dont like the QVGA. The font is very blurry. Everything is not clear. Even the games do not function well. Like SPB AirIslands lags. I suggest you stick to HTC Universal and wait till HTC Omni hits.

Or else I suggest the O2 XDA Flame. Which is much much better. ^^
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Yes, O2 XDA Flame seems to be a great pocket pc ! Everything I need, except one very important thing for me : the hardware keyboard !!! The same device with a hardware keyboard and the same size as the Kaiser, I buy it what ever its price !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I really don't miss going back, the TyTn screen is pretty good, I still keep my HP 4" VGA hx4700 PPC at home for WiFi Slingboxing. The smaller Kaiser screen is just fine for me, given all the features that the phone has.

No question, I'd buy a TyTn III tomorrow IF it had a good VGA Transreflective display. Don't think any mobile device should be sold without a transreflective display.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nuclear:
There is actually an Infrared Keyboard that O2 makes. Its called the O2 XM-02. It is sold as an accessory pack. Many retailers in Australia sell it. O2 Infrared Keyboard. The same size as the Kaiser. Its a QWERTY keyboard. Very sleek.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lukeap69:
i have jasjar, tytn and now touch.

after some time of using tytn and touch, i still prefer jasjar so much. that's why i can't dspose it.

planning to buy kaiser (tytn ii) also but it's very hard to throw away jasjar, so that's keeping me away from getting kaiser. at least for now.

might still get the kaiser and retain the universal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Thanks but I'm not a fan of external keyboard : one more thing to charge (one more power supply to bring with you, plus it increases the size of your pocketpc).

I have been in a shop today to see the TYTN II (in France), all sold, even the demo one ! So I couldn't see it ... Frustrating !

About the VGA affair, in fact I saw that the screen is the same size as the HTC 3600, wich is pretty small. So I think that VGA on a 2.8 inches screen would be pretty unusable with small fonts. So to keep this PDA at a small size, maybe it's better to keep QVGA wich is less cpu power consuming.

Hard to make a choice !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
I can give you some reasons why going back to QVGA isnt bad.

first of all, since it's a lower resolution, it takes less CPU power, and less battery power. that means things will be faster, such as games. (i mean think about it, when you play a game on a computer and lower the resolution, it gets faster).

second, there are 2 programs out there that allow you to change the resolution of a QVGA screen using zooming, you can zoom to a certain extentent without it looking bad, or you can change the resolution and just navigate around the screen:

Nydot virtual display: http://www.nyditot.com/Home.asp

DotPocket: http://www.dotpocket.com/

you can use these apps for internet browsing:)

I think gaming is better using QVGA, since a 2.8" is already a pretty good size.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
These softwares sound very interesting ... !!! it seems they can apply a high resolution where all fit on the screen (up to 800x600) ??? How can they do that ? Did you try it ? Does it really look like a real 640 x 480 for exemple ? I have read some reviews, they say that small fonts are unreadable (wich seems normal to me, the number of pixels in the screen stay the same 320x240, there is nothing magic !), we need a soft reset each time we want to change the resolution, and it is CPU power consuming ...

In that case, wich one is the less CPU power consuming : the software or the real VGA hardware ???

So I am only partially conviced ...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] technillion:
Dont' miss VGA at all!!!

I'm coming from the ETEN X500+ which is a VGA device.

I simply LOVED the Today Screen on the X500+ for its crispness and brightness. The icons looked great too. It was simply beautiful...BUT THAT WAS IT!!

The price I paid for having VGA on that device was RAM ALWAYS being LOW. With only a handful of apps loaded in memory, RAM would drop to 5MB!! After a RESET, RAM was only 20MB free!! Out the box, RAM was only 40MB available with 25MB free (it was supposed to be a 64MB RAM device)!! ETEN said it was due to the overhead of the VGA. I couldn't run Call of Duty since it requires at least 11-16MB of RAM free.

I use EXCEL spreadsheets, PDF and IE a lot. But even with the ability to jump to high rez in these apps, the text was way too small to read on the screen for long periods of time.

Mapopolis and Google Maps did look and work GREAT in high rez too; but I'll take the lower rez devices any day at this point.

These just weren't selling points for me to be convinced that WM6 devices is ready for VGA. IMO, you'll need screens the size of most UMPCs to really enjoy it.

TEC
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
up to 5000x5000 actually lol, any size you want. but your right, the more you increase teh resolution the harder it will be to read. there is no point for VGA if it doesnt have the big enough sized screen. the athena screen shows true VGA, but anything smaller would look too small and hard to read. i have not tried myself, i dont have a pocket pc, only a smartphone. on the website it says to read the directions carefully or you may have to hard reset your phone
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Finally I bought a htc prophet (Qtek S200) for only 50€ ... As the screen is the same as the Kaiser, I'll see if I can deal with it.

Then I'll sell it, the only way to be sure that the Kaiser won't disapoint me !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] patr!k:
qoing from vga (universal) to tytn II too.

i am little bit worry about screen, but as i had mda compact before - screen was ok and maybe little bit better then vga in some cases. now i am open to change big screen for more powerful device, even with qvga ;)

looking forward for it! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the_ape:
I've just moved over from the Universal to the Kaiser, and yes in some ways I miss the VGA (RDP/Opera), but there the only misses, I can make do with Opera and RDP on the QVGA.... I've just kept the Universal and pop my sim in it when I know I'm going to need the VGA...

Love the Kaiser though, much easier on the pocket.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tbfl:
I switched from a combo of V3XX RAZR with my Palm TX for the TyTN2 to have 3G and PIM, Multimedia, etc. all in one device. The Palm had a Half VGA (HVGA ?) res of 480x360 and I'm still getting used to less screen real estate.

It's most noticeable for me in web browsing and excel docs as mentioned above, but other than that I'm not missing much else.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
So here is my feeling of going back to a QVGA device :

in fact, I am not very disapointed. The fact that the screen is only a 2.8 inches model (compared to the 3.7 inches for the Universal) makes the pixels smaller so it still does look good. But reading excel files with small textes becomes too difficult. So I will definitly have to scroll more reading the files.

But this is not a big deal, compared to the fact that the S200 is so small that I can really use it as a phone, and I don't feel it in my pocket !

Even using it as a GPS was good.

So I think I will finally buy a Kaiser when the prices will drop a little.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] guinevere:
I'm having the same issue....hard to let go of my Universal, but I am just tired of the size of it, and having to lug it around. Thinking to make the change to the TyTnII
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
The Universal size is my problem too ... I am just using the prophet for only 3 days, but I love it cause I can bring it really everywhere with me, it is in my pocket all day long and I don't feel it. Also it is so small that I can really use it as a phone, so my original phone stays home ! I am sure now that I have to sell my Universal, the prophet/kaiser size is really what I need, even if I loose VGA (since I am using the prophet, I really don't miss VGA !).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Anton.Valleyman:
I've had the Universal and also til a few days ago the Ameo...and let me tell you I'm more than happy to use the QVGA screen of the Kaiser compared to the lovely 128dpi Ameo screen I had. I can use my phone as a phone again. I don't have to carry around a bt headset just to make a call, it doesn't ruin my pockets and considering the size the screen is actually very clear.

Sure there are certain things I miss about VGA and the Ameo was also more powerful, but as someone has already if a Kaiser + VGA comes out, I'll probably get that. So far though, I'm chuffed to bits.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] little_rock:
forgive the div question but would kaisr with vga require new hardware or just a cooked rom - I'd have thought new hardware is needed...

lr
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
yep, new hardware. but you can do artificial resolution changes with the software i linked a page or 2 back.

[HTC Droid DNA] chainfire95:
I currently have a lollipop rom version 5.1 (3.4.10-Nuk3rn3l) that has many quircks which make my DNA fairly unpleasant to use. I'd like to flash a build that is solidly reliable, even if it means downgrading.

What are my options? It is extremely daunting to wade through the endless posts of this development forum to find one that is stable.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
What quirks are you having? Are you on the latest firmware and used the recommended recovery to flash? These HTC phones are very picky and can cause some undesired effects when flashing against recommendations of OP. I would assume you are running [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]'s GPE rom. His roms are pretty darn stable if installed correctly. If you did follow install procedure exactly as recommended and still have issues, try his nusense rom.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yeah, I'd love to hear what instability issues("quirks") you might be having with my GPE port...I'm unaware of any.

Those who have issues and don't ask about them with logs or details, can't expect much.

You can always go back to a stock Kitkat Rom if the hard work of others isn't appreciated.
[HTC Droid DNA] chainfire95:
I appreciate all you do and it probably does have something to do with not having the most up to date software. I am experiencing a lot of little things that combine to be very frustrating in day to day use. In no particular order; I cannot send consecutive text messages without cycling airplane mode, the restart option when holding the power button has disappeared, every few days the phone will shut off and will be unable to be turned back on without plugging in a power cable (this has something to do with user input but I have yet to recognize the pattern that causes it), apps will frequently crash, the phone no longer automatically connects to wifi networks, and a few other things.

I don't know what info you would need, my kernel is 3.4.10-NuK3rn3l-dlx-GPE-Lollipop_v2.00 . Build number is LMY470.H6

I love that people are still developing for this phone, I just think a lot of this custom firmware business goes over my head.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
Those issues sound like firmware outdated and some odd stuff that only an ruu can fix. Below is the most up to date ruu for this phone. Before you flash, be sure to back everything up to an external storage device (PC, USB otg, etc). After you ruu, flash the recommended recovery in the rom thread and then clean flash the rom (wipe data, cache, system). Do not restore the nandroid backup. It could be something software that is causing the app FCs.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2935556

Edit: I know for a fact the Wi-Fi issue is because of outdated firmware, others might be wrong recovery, but to save the hassle, just ruu to be safe.
[HTC Droid DNA] TheDigitalSlacker:
Do me a favor: Run "fastboot getvar all" and take a look at line three and six. I am having the exact same issues as you. My line 3 for baseband was version 1.02.01.0818, NOT the 1.02.01.0207 that the latest firmware thread stated it should be. My line 6 (version-main) was blank. After flashing the latest radio zip it now shows a 1.02.01.0207 for baseband and 4.09.605.1 for version-main. This isn't my main phone anymore so its not activated in a way that i can test it. However it may be a starting point for you. I'd be curious if you have the same radios that my phone did.

And now the New York Times has reported snooping by Huawei

Hello psyonicus,

I posted this on the Google Nexus 6P forum yesterday so these modules you discovered are much more worrisome:

"I just read this NYT's article,

Secret Backdoor in Some U.S. Phones Sent Data to China, Analysts Say

It says that a Chinese firm, Adups, who makes software for updating a smartphone's firmware, was discovered by a US security company to be monitoring owners' phone usage. One of the two manufacturers who use Adups is Huawei, the maker of the 6P. Some quotes from the article:

"Security contractors recently discovered preinstalled software in some Android phones that monitors where users go, whom they talk to and what they write in text messages. "

"Adups intentionally designed the software to help a Chinese phone manufacturer monitor user behavior"

"Adups provides software to two of the largest cellphone manufacturers in the world, ZTE and Huawei. "

Google, please assure us that this firmware is not in our Nexus 6P's!"

Since this is my first post, I wasn't allowed to include the link to the NYT's article but you can look it up easily from its title.

I hope others will now also follow up on this story.

[Moto 360 2015] Fubukiyo:
Before we get started, I'll list what I've done. I've....

Factory reset the watch, I've reset the watch after it was factory reset. I've disabled and re-enabled Bluetooth on my phone (An HTC One M8) restarted it, re-enabled bluetooth, attempted to connect (Via Android Wear, of course) after everything is reset. I've done this in every imaginable order. I've even tried to connect via phone bluetooth. (not through Android Wear.)

I've also tried to go through all of my apps that might access anything bluetooth related; nothing. I've ALSO ALSO gone through my apps to clear the cache on everything that might be related to it.

I said "Screw it!" and I did a factory reset, which was hard for me to do. Nothing. Same error. Tried all of the above AFTER the factory reset. Nothing.

Then I went back to the beginning and I upgraded my ROM. (Skydragon 6.1 GPe) Nothing.

I did all of the above after re-installing that ROM. Nothing.

I went back to the recovery and wiped the cache/dalvik and just re-installed the ROM. Again, nothing.

Obviously, as we all know, you don't actually type anything in, you just verify the number, so there's no way I could have messed the code up.

Anyway, at this point, I'm out of ideas. If I remember something that I didn't put on here, I'll edit my post.

Well it will be enough if you are running music and browser at the same time but there could be other background apps running which will actually use a lot of RAM without your knowlede. You should stop the unneccessary apps running by
